Saturday 29th June - Bollin Valley Banger


Today 13 D runners headed out for a Bollin Banger or Bimble in some very heated conditions.

After a warm warm-up, we headed up the trail and across the fields for an obligatory bridge pic before Prestbury. A large dragonfly interrupted proceedings and was a welcome sight. After a loop of the village, the group then headed over the fields to the golf course and then  down Dorchester way.

A trip through Tytherington woods next and then back to the Bollin Valley. At this point most of us wanted to jump into the river, but we resisted and headed back along the top path for some last undulations before arriving at the car park.

Just over 5 miles but sufficient in the weather.

Well ran everyone!

Saturday 22nd June - Tegg's Nose & Macc Forest round

This lovely sunny morning, 10 enthusiastic trail runners came out for a lovely warm and undulating run around Tegg's Nose and Macc Forest exploring some paths never visited before.

Beautiful views all around us; we are so lucky to live so close to all this gorgeous countryside! Great running from everyone and a lovely way to start the weekend. Well done everyone, thanks for coming out.

3. Arrange a social run with friends
4. Have a rest day
5. Stay in bed for a rare Saturday 'lie-in'
6. Run on Sunday with the club fell section instead

Whatever you decide to do have a great morning!

Saturday 8th June - The Elephant 6

Today 11 D Trail runners enjoyed glorious summer sunshine (not) and tackled a new 6 mile route around Kerridge and Rainowlow to visit the Elephant Stone.

Excellent running and banter as usual. Afterwards a few of us headed off to meet E group to help David Jackson to celebrate his 80th birthday by eating lots of cake.
Well done everybody.
